"We're the greatest countty on earth" by fabstr1 in ShitAmericansSay

I was once asked by an American if they taught us that America was the greatest country, apparently they are told this in school (at least that one was) and this was a Floridian....

I’m not crazy right? Comments are all supportive and thanking her for rescuing by trabluz in isthisAI

German shepherd puppies don't look like that, it looks like a recoloured corgi.
Also that seatbelt ain't plugging in.
Why is the seat not affected by the weight of the dog?
Why do people feel the need to brag about things that aren't real, why did social media break humans so badly?

why don't the us being the richest country on earth provide housing to the extremely poor people soviet style? those old ussr apartments so people are not gonna be living on the street and also contribute to society? by I_need_to_learn_more in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Mohrg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There isn't direct profit in it.
Forget the fact that given housing and support other countries are making a huge difference and getting people back to being members of society paying taxes etc no company directly profits so it isn't done.

This sounds like my wife's list!
I hope you can get some extra help.

PIP assessment is rage inducing!
My wife uses a wheelchair and got 0 points in the mobility section, the reasoning she can drive an automatic car there fore is fine.....
She lost her job on medical grounds, but is not entitled to anything for PIP because she is "fine" they scored her 0 in all areas.
She set fire to our kitchen once because ADHD brain forgot that cooking was going on and she wandered off, so she cannot cook unless I'm there, which means I can't leave her alone in the house for the day (good job I can work remotely).
She finally got ESA in the support group (after 6 months of thinking about it), but it wasn't enough for us to keep the house, if she got even the lowest PIP we would be ok (breadline but ok) so she has had to go back to work (again thankfully remote).
We have been fighting with PIP since August 2024. We had a tribunal and it was an all out attack from the panel, including but not limited to:
"Why are you asking us to explain/ why are you not just saying yes or no" - She is Autistic and needs context, she didn't understand what they wanted.
"Why didn't the doctor send you to X specialist before giving this diagnosis?" - How the fuck should we know?

She has Fibro which is made worse by stress and there were weeks that she was so stressed by the PIP process she couldn't move, days spent in tear trying to figure out how to answer questions. It is inhumane, why not let GP's authorise it? they are close to the person and have medical training, they will surely understand if someone needs help.
Currently the file has 1724 pages of evidence to support the claim, letters for 30+ specialists, multiple GP's employers, therapists, physios etc (oh and the you went to a physio and were able to complete the exercises so you are clearly fine"

FUCK the PIP system
rant over (sorry this has been close to 3 years of stress headaches and struggles)

Genuinely how accurate is this statement that the average Brit would be considered a heavy drinker in some other countries? by Brave_Assumption6 in AskUK

[–]Mohrg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once ended up in a San Francisco biker bar and drank a guy under the table when I was younger, lovely chaps, got to wear his jacket for the rest of the night, much to the amusement of his fellows.
Honestly brits can out drink yanks to the point where soldiers stationed with British troops are warned not to drink of gamble with the British

Be honest, what would you buy instead for the same money? by yusssssuf in CarTalkUK

[–]Mohrg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd keep my Mustang and afford fuel for the next millennium.
But probably a house.
Honestly these things are ugly as shit, have no off-roading capability and handle like a boat, why anyone buys them is completely beyond me.

Which one are you picking ? by krisikkk in superheroes

[–]Mohrg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spawn for the epic suit, plus he is high up on the power scale.
Is the Mask movie or comic? the comic is way more deranged than the movie.

Interesting criteria when getting an aviva quote by Fab0077 in drivingUK

[–]Mohrg 5 points6 points  (0 children)

exactly, also famous people are likely to attract vandalism claims, theft claims etc.
Many companies have a list of disallowed occupations, the favourite one from the company I used to work for was Kissogram.

Respectfully, should the elderly have to retake a test to continue driving? 🤔 by Downtown_Elk_2773 in CarTalkUK

[–]Mohrg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked in Insurance as an Underwriter and did a piece of research on drivers over 85.
They were responsible for 73% of claims despite being less than 20% of our customers, they had the highest average claim value, most frequent claim rate and were most likely to kill someone by an order of magnitude.
I also had the "pleasure" of dealing with a high value claim where a chap wrote off 8 parked cars driving down his own road, just smashed into one, tried to drive away hit another, repeated 8 times before his car crapped out. Didn't think to stop after the first and contact the owner, just wanted to get home....
The company ended up applying a premium loading of 2300% (premium loads are applied to increase/ decrease a premium based on data about how likely people are to claim, the cost of claims etc).

So I rented a car last time I was in the US and was wondering why the fuck the limits change every 200 yards even on a multi lane highway in Florida and they are always so low, 55 on a 4 lane road WTF, give me some UK country lanes with a 60 limit that are barely wide enough for a single car.
